single, home alone, no plans, trying to save some cash this year i actually really appreciate this video because it helps this years christmas feel a lot less lonely thanks Ben 🖤
Yeah Im "celebrating" in solo too man. Hope you had a decent year, Always a pleasure to watch your videos and you being so real sometimes in your videos, Merry christmas man!
What you did here was a work of art, it was Frederic Chopin composing Nocturne Op 9 no. 2. Its something you excel at over other content creators. I'm over here getting ready to head to the family function to have a good time but for a brief moment you dragged me down to your level in this video, made me think about and sympathize with all the people out there spending the holidays alone with nothing to attend. Made me more grateful, Thank you for this video Ben
Genius concept and noticed he never complained, just accepted certain items weren’t there and enjoyed his meal and the quality time. Truly how it should be, instead of being greedy and seeing the cup half empty.
There are so many people in the comments saying this meal n this video is depressing. You're right, it is. There are thousands upon thousands of people without housing and impovershed and without family or friends or any companionship that eat like this every year on the holidays. A lot of homeless people eat less than this or next to nothing on Christmas, and go to sleep in the cold. It's nice sharing gifts, ham n mac n cheese, n love during the holidays with your loved one's but it is always necessary to remember that there are people living in this world that cannot afford what's deemed as the norm on holidays. There are people struggling. This is real and humbling for many of you to watch because it's so easy to forget that this is the reality for so many people, especially when you're just having a good time celebrating in your own way. Thank you Ben. Not a lot of people will show this side of christmas/the holidays and especially not on the internet where we're pressured to show only the good parts.
For those that know, Ben is so real for this. I'm sure the idea came from the bottom of his heart, and I along with many others are thankful for this mans understanding and care for those that have and are struggling as he has. Happy holidays to you Ben, and to everyone else in these comments!
happy holidays to anyone out there feeling alone and having a tough time these days, just know that there's people out there thinking about you going through the same thing, much love.
I too was alone on this Christmas Eve. No special meal. No phone calls. Nothing. Thanks for making me chuckle realize it’s ok to eat anything you have. Merry Christmas and if I don’t see you before have a very good New Year. I hope it keeps you healthy and happy. I hope you got a chance to speak with your family. Love you. 💕🫶🦩. Be well.
Ben is a natural 😂 "ho ho ho" "it's a nice little side, nice little veg... carrot... it's raw, to be honest wish you" "we couldn't find mashed or roa sted potato so we went with pringles" "i love me some rolls, some crescent rolls... but we got a slice white bread" "we don't got any honey ham but we got honey spam, baby... it's looking good... idk man" "don't really have any cranberry sauce but we do have cranberry juice... i'll just be drinkin it" "don't have any gravy either but i have these ketchup packets ... i just notice one of these is mcdonalds one of these is heinz... idk where i found these"
If this was anyone other than Ben, I would swear they were mocking us. It's funny that I've got all the ingredients he has, but I'm just going to make a Hamburger Helper stroganoff instead.
Ben keeping it real as always. I'm sure he has a gf (ring girl) but I heard that Christmas in Korea is for couples. It's more of a couples holiday than a family holiday. So reppin the lonely souls. Love it.
i dont even celebrate but this video made me cry because it reminded me of the times i would have struggle meals alone. thanks for making everyone feel so seen
That looks like the perfect meal to have on a budget. It still looks fulfilling and it’s all about feeling satisfied after a meal. Even if you can’t have a nice meal during the holidays, it’s all about being with your loved ones and having a great time.
Thanks MR. Deen for years of great content. I wish you happyness and i hope you can travel even more in 2024, those series of video were awsome. Ben deen, always simple but efficient and really entertaining!
thank you so much for uploading this. it actually means a lot.. this Christmas I'm kinda staying alone and was feeling super lonely today.. feel so much better now. went out and made some hot coffee. ben ur the best
This year has been so hard for me both mentally and financially since i don’t have a job and not much saved up but I enjoy watching videos like this which keeps me going haha
Hey buddy, thanks for posting! My grandmother used to bake Spam with cloves. Was pretty good. I love cranberry juice. Happy Holidays. For Holidays my family did turkey, baked ham and Prime rib in a row
Besides the fact that we don't celebrate christmas in Turkey, as a college student I can relate to having a solo dinner hundreds of kilometers away from my family.
This is honestly the rawest thing you could’ve done and I appreciate it regardless of your financial status it makes multiple people feel comfortable in how the celebrated this holiday god bless keep up the good work❤
Has been a few years since I subbed to BD and there have been very few phases of my life when I did not watch a video he released that appeared on my home screen a day or two within the release. He’s just so chill. And his videos catch that chill flow automatically. No extra stuff - no pandering to anyone. No advertising or being loud or trying to look ideal or whatever. Its so against all other media that we watch - most of which is so imposing. Especially on YT. I feel like BD represents what most people are like - chill and cool - but because it’s not the type of content that makes a shit ton of money or is the most out there - we rarely see these types of content creators that are just who they are blank.
There may be some holiday purist or naysayers out there but what you'vce put together serves as an example that a special holiday or meal in general can be whatever you want it to be. I thought the honey glazed spam was wonderful. It reminded me of something play sized like something that may have been paired with an eazy bake oven in another timeline. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Ben looks sad, I hope he is with someone to celebrate Christmas with because no one should be alone around the holidays. Merry Christmas to everyone hope you are spending time with friends and family 🎄❤️
I'm always "mostly" alone during the holidays. Thankfully, I don't mind. I'm not lonely, yet this video and all the comments make me feel less lonely somehow. Thank you. Merry Christmas to all.
I've been alone all day and did not eat or drink anything. I probably wont eat anything all night either. I'm in a bad situation. That food actually looks good
Food wise, Christmas is tamale time in my house. On Christmas Eve my aunt Dolly (RIP) made the best lasagna ever. Happy Christmas Ben and God bless us everyone.
Pringles are dried potatoes which are rehydrated salted, pressed and re-dried, I think. I loved the rippled ones back in the day. And the rippled planters potato chips, I ate far too many of those....
Not everyone is blessed to have a family to share a grand meal. This says so much. Maybe Ben did wanted to say it's fine being solo. Be happy with what you have. Happy Blessed and Safe Christmas everyone.
Pringles are definitely made from potatoes, but what makes them different from proper potato chips is that pringles are made from a sort of potato mash that's reformed to the desired shape and cooked, while proper potato chips are purely thinly sliced potato that are basically unaltered and cooked as is, plus whatever seasonings afterwards. I assume the cooking method is fried or baked. This is why pringles are called "crisps" instead of chips. It's a reformed and more processed food than regular chips. You could actually soak pringles in hot water and make some super bogus mashed potatoes.
